I got foam insulation put into my extermal walls about five months ago. After that, I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the walls, every so often but nothing major. I always thought it was next doors heating coming on.
The last week, however, the buzzing is now 24 hours a day.I went next door to the neighbours and they said they have hardly had their heating on the last week.After a bit of research and talking with my father, it could be that the foam stuff might have affected the wiring in the walls. The sparks guy I use, cant come out for a month and he didnt sound very positive about solving the noise problem, when I told him about the foam in them walls.
I havent done any checks yet myself (like knocking off the power and checking out each room). Does anyone know what i would need to do? I am a bit sick about all this as Im wondering if I messed up by not getting the wiring in the walls fully checked out first before doing the insulation (its an old house and my father said the wires might have been just dropped down and not done properly). Am I looking at a full rewire and also having to get rid of the insulation, which already cost me 2k?
